No, they're more likely to fault. Ductile rocks are more likely to fold.

The bending and buckling of rocks under great force produces a fold a fault a rift a epicenter?
a fold
What are thrust fault mountains?
Rock that is too brittle to fold under heat and pressure, will break, calledthrust faulting. When older rock ends up on top of younger rock as a result of thrust faulting, the result is the formation of fault block mountains.
A fold in which the oldest rock layers are in the center of the fold is?
If rocks are folded, the folding is younger that the youngest rock affected. If they are folded into a syncline (a U-shaped fold) the youngest rocks are in the core of he fold. The opposite is true for an anticline (a big dome-shaped fold).
What is a example of a fault-block mountain?
the Himalayasi need a example of fault block mountains(The himalayas are NOT fault block mountains , they are fold mountains.)
How are folding and faulting similar how are they different?
A fold is a bend in a rock layer caused by forces within the crust of the earth. Folds usually occur in a series and look like waves in the rock. Rock layers can also break, in which case a fault occurs. A fault zone is where the sides of broken rock have moved relative to each other.

a fold
What two factors that can determine whether rocks will fold or fault under stress?
Well.............. I am not sure, lol.
Applied forces cause rocks to undergo?
Metamorphism. Rocks need to be partially plastic from heat and pressure in order to fold rather than fault.
What is the difference between a fold and a fault?
Folds and faults are both formed from compression on opposite sides due to tectonic movement of the earth's crust. However, in a fold, the crust does not break, it simply is deformed in a curved pattern. In a fault, the rocks in the crust actually shatter, and movement is seen along a fault line, wheby rocks are displaced relative to each other.
What are 4 factors that determine whether rocks fault or fold?
the temperature of the rock, the type of rock, how the force is applied, and how quickly the force is applied
What is the difference between a fault and a fold?
a fault is a large crack in the earth. a fold is when the ground gets bent.
What are thrust fault mountains?
Rock that is too brittle to fold under heat and pressure, will break, calledthrust faulting. When older rock ends up on top of younger rock as a result of thrust faulting, the result is the formation of fault block mountains.
Does a brittle star have asymmetry?
The brittle star has a five-fold symmetry as do all members of class echinadermata.
Are the Alps folded volcanic or fault block?
Fault Block. That is wrong, they are fold mountains, they were formed on a weakening in the plate, and millions of years ago the plate was under pressure and then it buckled and the Rockies were formed.
What do rock layers that break but do not move form?
A Fold (anticline or syncline) - but it is not a fault. A geological Fault is a break in the rock, with the rock on one side moved relative to that on the other..
A fold in a rock that bends downward?
That type of fault is known as Synclinal fault.
A fold in which the oldest rock layers are in the center of the fold is?
If rocks are folded, the folding is younger that the youngest rock affected. If they are folded into a syncline (a U-shaped fold) the youngest rocks are in the core of he fold. The opposite is true for an anticline (a big dome-shaped fold).
